Hi all, This is today''s nightly testing report; no new issue found, bug #1259 got fixed. Some vt-d cases failed in first round testing, but can get pass in retesting. Fixed issue: ============================================== 1. booting windows guest causes Xen HV crash http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1259 Old issues:

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

Hi Tim, Could you please have a look at this bug? Thanks a lot. http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1774 Best Regards, Yongjie Ren (Jay) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

We found several issues in ChangeSet 10319. ChangeSet 10314 should work according to our test log. 1, xen0 can not be compiled for IA-32/IA-32pae host since ChangeSet 10318. We tried gcc 3.4.2 and 4.1.0 but both failed. 2. On IA32e host, VMX can not be created. "xm cr" complains: Error: Not an HVM capable platform, we stop creating. 3, On IA32e host, "reboot" can not

Attached are the patches to support super page with EPT. We only support 2M size. And shadow may still work fine with 4K pages. The patches can be split into 3 parts. Apply order is as attached. tool.diff To allocate 2M physical contiguous memory in guest except the first 2M and the last 2M. The first 2M covers special memory, and Xen use the last few pages in guest memory to do special

This patch series includes a series of bugs related to p2m, ept, and PoD code which were found as part of our XenServer product testing. Each of these fixes actual bugs, and the 3.4-based version of the patch has been tested thoroughly. (There may be bugs in porting the patches, but most of them are simple enough as to make it unlikely.) Each patch is conceptually independent, so they can each

I have a 12GB 64-bit Linux HVM guest (CentOS 5.5). When I look at the e820 map in the guest, I see the following: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000010000 - 000000000009e000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009e000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000e0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 00000000f0000000 (usable) BIOS-e820:

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

This patch series restores the use of superpages when restoring or migrating a VM, while retaining efficient batching of 4k pages when superpages are not appropriate or available.

Hi! Attached patch removes gfn_to_mfn_current(). It is redundant and effectively unused. All remaining users now use proper replacement function. => No functional change. While here, silence stdvga and use page_mode_hap() consequently.

There has been some progress, but still no joy. Definitely not intended for inclusion at this point. Tim, Wei, I added a Xen command line toggle to disable IOMMU and P2M table sharing. Tim, I verified that changes to p2m-pt.c don''t break shadow mode (64bit hypervisor and Win 7 guest). Hongkaixing, I incorporated your suggestion in patch 2, so I should add your Signed-off-by eventually.

Hi All, The interface of the evtchn has been changed as follows. ・xen-unstable.hg : cs13198 [PV-ON-HVM] Update evtchn interface to match new PV Linux interfaces. ・xen-unstable.hg : cs13197 [LINUX] Extend the event-channel interfaces to provide helper methods However, the following errors occur if pv-on-hvm is done in insmod. This patch corrected this issue. --- # insmod xen-vbd.ko

I want to know any difference between writing, reading and shadow page table (for example performance). I am thankful for any help or resource for that. -- Best Regards Mohamad Taghi Mir Mohamad Rezaie Iran University of Science and Technology Department of Computer Science & Engineering System Software Group _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

When booting a recently compiled Xen 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04, dom0 crashes. I''ve included a serial console log below. I''ve used: Xen 4.2 unstable rev. 25483, compiled on the same machine. I had to apply the AT_EMPTY_PATH patch from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-02/msg03460.html to get it to compile. Linux 3.2.0-25, which is the default kernel in Ubuntu''s

Hi, V6: The only change from V5 is in patch #6: - changed comment to reflect autoxlate - removed a redundant ASSERT - reworked logic a bit so that get_page_from_gfn() is called with NULL for p2m type as before. arm has ASSERT wanting it to be NULL. Tim: patch 4 needs your approval. Daniel: patch 5 needs your approval. These patches implement PVH dom0. Patches 1 and 2

This patch series is a reworking of a series developed by Mukesh Rathor at Oracle. The entirety of the design and development was done by him; I have only reworked, reorganized, and simplified things in a way that I think makes more sense. The vast majority of the credit for this effort therefore goes to him. This version is labelled v13 because it is based on his most recent series, v11.
